First Look: Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin in HBO's 'Game Change'
Tina Fey, watch your back! The first look at Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin in HBO's upcoming film 'Game Change' has hit the Internet, and she looks astonishingly like the former Alaska governor.Moore and Ed Harris will star in the HBO pic based on the book of the same name. Written by Danny Strong -- yep, Jonathan from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and writer of HBO's 'Recount' -- the film starts production on Wednesday. Jay Roach of 'Austin Powers' fame and the director of 'Recount' will helm the film.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Melissa Farman will play Bristol Palin. Viewers may remember Farman from HBO's 'Temple Grandin.'
Larry Sullivan will play Sarah Palin's deputy chief of staff Chris Edwards and 'Trauma' actor Jamey Sheridan will play McCain adviser Mark Salter. Woody Harrelson has been tapped to play McCain's senior adviser Steve Schmidt.
Moore was set to play Hillary Clinton in HBO's 'The Special Relationship' and even did a makeup test for the role, but due to scheduling conflicts with 'The Kids Are All Right,' she had to drop out. Instead, the role went to Hope Davis.
Thanks to our friends at PopEater, here's a side-by-side comparison of Moore (dressed as Clinton) and Clinton.
